In this episode of FP&A Unlocked, host Paul Barnhurst invites Gabrielle Dolan to explore how leaders can use storytelling to influence decisions, build trust, and make data actually matter.

They’re driven by emotion and then justified by numbers.

It makes your message stick. It makes people care.
And most importantly, it drives action.
